What the..?!?!


You may remember this, it was our family room. "Was" being the operative word. As of today, it is stripped down to the studs. Because you know, Daddy doesn't have a million other things to do. This room had paneling in it, it was painted, but Daddy decided he couldn't live with it anymore so he took it all down. See the big hole in the corner by the fireplace? That was the yucky purple bathroom. Not anymore! Here are some before shots, BEFORE we moved in.
And, DURING...

You will have to wait for the AFTER. I'm waiting...patiently... Don't tell Daddy, but Mommy went home early for lunch when Daddy made a Home Depot run and already talked to the contractors about finishing the room. She said, "Could you please just tell me how much it would cost to: repair the walls in the dining room and paint; rip down the painted over straw wallpaper in the hallway and paint; and finish the drywall and lay down the hardwood floor in the family room?" And Mr. Contractor said, "Joe doesn't know you're asking us to do this, does he?" Mommy said, "No and let's keep it that way!" So Shhhhh...!
That's all I've got for now, folks! Stay tuned, maybe tomorrow we'll have the whole ceiling ripped out too!
Love,
Lilly

Boy Lilly, your Mommy sure likes instant gratification (as her daddy would say!) Babi thought she was bad, but your Mommy is worse! But, I know how she feels...Babi and Duda are getting new carpet in 3 bedrooms and the living room. Teti wonders why we didn't replace all the carpet...her room is the only one left! Poor Teti...her carpet is fine. Anyways, today we are going to continue putting things way and finding things to give to you!!! I think you will love the few treasures I have found for you.

I love you and now I have to go back to bed!
